Basic herb and cheese omelette

A basic herb and cheese omelette is a delicious and quick breakfast or brunch option that highlights the fresh flavors of herbs and the rich taste of parmesan cheese. It's perfect for a simple yet satisfying meal with minimal ingredients and just a few steps.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
100g
1 tbsp water
16g
2 tsp butter
10g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g
1 tbsp chives
16g
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
27g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Gather all your ingredients.
- Finely chop the fresh parsley and chives.
- Grate the parmesan cheese if it's not pre-grated.
2. Mixing the Eggs:
- In a medium bowl, crack the eggs.
- Add 1 tablespoon of water to the eggs.
- Whisk the eggs and water together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
3. Preheating the Pan:
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add 2 teaspoons of butter to the skillet.
- Allow the butter to melt and coat the bottom of the pan evenly.
4. Cooking the Omelette:
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan to ensure it spreads out evenly.
- Let the eggs cook undisturbed for about 1-2 minutes, or until they start to set around the edges.
5. Adding Herbs and Cheese:
- Evenly sprinkle the chopped parsley, chives, and grated parmesan cheese over the top of the omelette.
- Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese begins to melt and the omelette is mostly set but still slightly runny in the center.
6. Folding the Omelette:
- Using a spatula, carefully fold the omelette in half.
- Gently press the top to help the omelette seal and cook through.
7. Serving:
- Slide the omelette onto a plate.
- Garnish with a little extra chopped parsley and chives if desired.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious herb and cheese omelette!

Tips:

- Ensure the eggs are well-beaten to incorporate air, making the omelette fluffy.

- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the omelette from sticking and ensure easy folding.

- Add the cheese just before folding the omelette to melt it perfectly without overcooking the eggs.

- Cook on medium-low heat to avoid burning the butter and ensure even cooking of the eggs.

- Experiment with additional herbs or toppings like spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms to vary the flavors.

This basic herb and cheese omelette is a delightful way to start your day or enjoy a light meal. The freshness of the parsley and chives combined with the savory parmesan cheese creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please.
